Forgive me for posting this on two lists but there seems to be a lot more activity in debian-users. I'm using Libranet 2.7 and have a strange problem.
I can start and stop gpm from the command line with gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 and gpm -k However when I try to start and stop gpm from /etc/init.d using /etc/init.d/gpm start or stop as root, the gpm program hangs up until I move the mouse. Then it reports: init.d/gpm: /dev/mouse: Permission denied Starting mouse interface server: gpm. It then works. Similarly when I boot up or shut down - it hangs in exactly the same way. In /dev mouse is soft linked to /dev/psaux with permission crw------- with owner root. In /etc/init.d/gpm I added to the cmdln as follows: cmdln=-m /dev/mouse -t imps2 which is the same as I use with no problems in the command line. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks for any help.
